Intro:
Nicholaus Arson

  e                                                             
  b

Then, immediately after the second time that's play, Vigilante joins in with

Then the drums and bass join!

(Nick & Vig)

  e                                                             
  b                                                             
  g                    10 10 10                                 
  d 12 12 0 10 10 10 0 10 10 10 0 8 8 8 8

Then for live concerts, I think Nick is doing this while bending the strings. Not 100% sure on this.

Then back to the main riff.

Then Vig and Nick keep playing the main riff, except when playing they play with thekinda.  Don't know if you know what I mean, but you have to listen to it on the song
to get what I mean.  Like playing with a little more space between them.  Anyways.

They do it that way for
(Nick and Vig)

  e

  e 10 10 0  8  8  8 0          0 6 6 6 6                       

Then back to the normal way
(Nick and Vig)

  e

Then with the drums again
(Nick and Vig)

  e                                                             
  b                                                             
  g                    10 10 10

  e 10 10 0  8  8  8 0          0 6 6 6 6                       

I think they do it more that way during the live stuff though. Anyways, then the chorus!
